Sacrifice is a big part of this recipe for success on YouTube. When I started my YouTube channel, I had family that hadn't seen in six months come into town specifically to see me a pre planned visit. Six months ago, they bought the tickets and they were so excited they came into town to see me and I had to tell them hey guys, I got to work on my YouTube channel. I'm very sorry. And they're like, what what are you crazy I came here to see you. Sorry, you guys got to work on my channel and you might upset a few people and you might you know, ruffle a few feathers but there's a great saying be selfish now.
So you can be generous later those friends and family that you're not hanging out with now or this whatever it is you're missing out on, they'll forget about it and they'll forgive you later. So this is going to require a lot of time a lot of energy and a lot of money. I would highly suggest if at all possible. Don't try to have a girlfriend or boyfriend while you're doing your YouTube. I'm not saying a dump them if you already have them, but it's probably not the best time in your life to be trying to date while you're trying to build a YouTube channel. Save that After you become a success on YouTube right now focus on this.
This is your number one. This is a great term that I love First things first. Second thing is never if this is your priority number one, this is number one. Nothing comes above this when I did fuzzy puppet when I started I literally shaved my head bald for two reasons one to save money on haircuts, I was like, hey, that's you know, 20 $20 more I can put it into a video every dollar counts when you're starting your channel, you know, you want to spread that money out as far as possible. When I first started my channel, I would literally wake up 6am go for my walk, eat my apple, I'd come back and boom I'm working by 630 and I would work all day long I'd work until I would literally fall asleep with the computer I'd wake up a second time keep working fall asleep a second time and then a third time and by the third time as there is time to go to bed a girl her boyfriend's not gonna let you devote that amount of time and energy to this most likely you're gonna really give it your all really devote all your time all your money, all your energy.
So I felt being bald at the time will be very easy not to have a girlfriend and be making it harder in case that you know to fight that urge to try and call me girl. If I was bald sorry. Anybody out there who's bald Okay, moving on.
